Yeovil Town's five match unbeaten run came to an end tonight as they were beaten by a professional looking Ipswich Town side. The visiting Tractor Boys had to deal with plenty of first half pressure during the opening 25 minutes, but they gradually took control and grabbed the lead five minutes before the break. A Stephen Hunt corner was flicked on and Christophe Berra turned out to be the match winner as he converted from close range to put Ipswich 1-0 up.

Whilst that might have been a little harsh at half time, Ipswich deserved their win during a second half in which they employed classic 'away team' tactics for a side that had the goal advantage. Kieffer Moore, Sam Hoskins and Adam Morgan were all introduced as attacking substitutes, but Ipswich snuffed them all out - apart from one 90th minute chance when Moore's excellent turn from the edge of the box came off the inside of the post, and with that Yeovil's one and only genuine second half chance came and went.

With Barnsley and Millwall both losing, no serious damage has been done to the league table, although Doncaster's late 2-1 win over Watford, and Blackpool's success over the Lions means that the Championship table is looking increasingly like a battle between four clubs to avoid the bottom three positions.
